5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun to be had is you're willing..., 20 Nov 2004

By	"paulsnew1" - See all my reviews

As a die-hard G1 fan I could very easily take the path that so many seem to and rip ROBOTS IN DISGUISE to shreds, but I've actually grown pretty fond of this series over time. This DVD set allows for a timely re-evaluation.
For a start, forget continuity. RID bares no relation to G1, G2, Beast Wars, Beast Machines or even the more recent Armada & Energon. It stands alone and that is actually it's strength: You can just dive in and have a good time!
Basically, the enemy Transformers this time are the "PREDACONS" (not DECEPTICONS as in G1) and are on Earth to plunder it's energy reserves. The AUTOBOTS of this continuity have been on Earth for some time (it would appear) and have established a massive underground base as well as a planet-spanning "space bridge" to get them to trouble spots quickly. That's the premise and is enough to get you started if you're a new viewer.

The initial cast is small in number, but makes up for this deficiency with some great characters. While the MEGATRON of this series is a bit of a whiny bore, his underlings are a hilariously realised group of robots. GAS SKUNK, DARK SCREAM and SLAPPER are a wonderful 'triple-act' that blunder and stumble from one mission to the next and actually have you wanting them to win most of the time. Even better is SKY-BYTE, a mechanical floating shark that recites poetry during combat and talks with his mouth full. These characters are wonderfully voiced (although occasionally hard to understand due to the nature of dubbing a Japanese-originated series!) and easily outshine the AUTOBOTS. That's not to imply that the heroes this time round are boring (far from it!), but against such colourful competition they tend to fade into the background. Plots range from fun to mad (such as HUNT FOR BLACK PYRAMID, in which we are automatically supposed to know where the titular "Black Pyramid" came from even though it's never explained!) but always executed in style. The animation is super slick and the music (especially the theme) is ace. Also worthy of note are some bizarre yet funny scenes - PROWL and X-BRAWN in "disguise" in one episode, and the Autobots thrown into water and trying to swim in "COMMANDOS" (I laughed aloud at that bit!).
In the episode entitled, funnily enough, "THE DECEPTICONS", we finally meet some of the 'old style' villains. More traditional than the Predacons in their evil doings, this new group make for some interesting plot develoments as they attempt to steal glory from SKY-BYTE & impress MEGATRON while traces of a story arc begin to develop.
Unless you're a completely closed-minded G1 fan unwilling to accept anything else, I certainly recommend this DVD set. Be warned though, that the volume 1 that is also available right now contains the same episodes as in this set - DON'T BUY the one with the blue cover if you get this one (which you should do!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformers - Robots In Disguisse (Vol 1 of 2), 3 Nov 2004

By	"bluezeoranger" - See all my reviews

This is the first of 2 box sets and includes the 9 episodes in the first RID DVD + about 11 others.

Unlike Gen 1 (where the voices were done first and the animation added later) Transformers RID takes its fotage from a Japannese show called CAR ROBOTS.

On the face of it, this series may not appeal to Di-hard Gen 1 fans, but go a bit deaper and you can appreciate it on another level.

There is subtle humour (Adults will get it - children will not (all you parents out there this is a harmless show which will entertain kids for hours - this is a long DVD).

The story - Set over 3 Discs - is that the Preadacons (Beast Wars Fans take note) have come to Earth to steal energy. The Autobots (Led by Optimus Prime, Fire Truck) who have hiden themselves on Earth rise up to to battle Megatron.

Yes there is a Kid in it Koji, though he is not as annoying as the three stooges in TF: Armada.

The BOx art is terrific (rivaling America's Gen 1 / Beast Wars boxes from Rhino). Thumbs up to Fox/Jetex.

All in all a great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glad to see it as a box set...but is it uncensored?
RiD, while being very different from other TF series (mostly because of its strong anime style), still has many things to like, such as the aforementioned Sky-byte, but also... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad
Better than Armada, and and better animation and humour than G1, but this is not real Transformers, just a surreal humourous diversion.
